Commission: Procedures for Cyprus and 18 countries for Building Renovation Plans

The European Commission is initiating infringement procedures against 19 member states, including Cyprus, for failing to submit drafts of their National Building Renovation Plans (NBRPs) by the deadline of December 31, 2025. NBRPs are considered essential tools for transforming buildings into energy-efficient and decarbonized assets by 2050. The Commission is requesting member states to submit their plans within two months, threatening a reasoned opinion in case of non-compliance. The timely submission of plans is important for evaluating each state's strategy and ensuring the effective implementation of climate and energy goals.
